Update 2: I recall receiving an update for my Samsung Galaxy S III on 11\/07\/2012 weighing in at 22.6MB which was listed as a performance update. Not sure if that has triggered this issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since getting my Samsung Galaxy S III I didn’t quite like the layout of the “S Planner” calendar app after coming from a Samsung Omnia 7 and the incredibly clean and simple calendar app offered by Windows Phone 7. While I wait for Windows Phone 8 devices to hit the market (which will more than likely be next year). Anyway, I was keen to put the ICS stock calendar app on the phone to see if that suited my needs however that introduced an unexpected problem.<\/p>\n

I noticed that both calendar apps on the phone started filling up with duplicate events and some of my recurring appointments had been replicated at least ten times for the one day which made for a very cramped calendar in some situations.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the solution for me was to uninstall the ICS stock calendar app and wipe the calendar data by doing the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Unlock the phone,<\/li>\n
  2. Tap the menu key and tap \u00a0“Settings”,<\/li>\n
  3. Scroll down to “Application Manager”,<\/li>\n
  4. Tap the “All” tab,<\/li>\n
  5. Scroll down to “Calendar” and tap it,<\/li>\n
  6. Tap “Force stop” then “Uninstall” and then “OK” and “OK” again,<\/li>\n
  7. Scroll down to “Calendar Storage” and tap it,<\/li>\n
  8. Tap “Force stop” then “Clear data”,<\/li>\n
  9. Tap the back key,<\/li>\n
  10. Scroll down to “S Planner” (or whatever your calendar app is called) and tap it,<\/li>\n
  11. Tap “Force stop” then “Clear data”,<\/li>\n
  12. Open up your calendar app to start resyncing data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It might take a few minutes for the resync to complete but from that point onwards you should not have any further calendar issues<\/del>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
